Garland is the first federal official found in contempt of Congress for refusing to supply audio recordings from an interview with President Biden in an investigation into alleged misuse of documents.
The committee questioned Special Counsel Hur on why he didn't pursue charges against Biden and requested Garland provide a transcript of the interview amid a stall in Congress's inquiries.
House GOP leaders are fixated on the audio recordings as a potential breakthrough amidst a series of setbacks, including delays in Biden impeachment proceedings.
Vote on contempt broke along party lines, underscoring the intense political divisions and scrutiny surrounding the issue.
